We Are All Needed
We ask the wrong questions: what do you do for me? You do not meet my needs. What can this church do for me? I am not having my needs met. The real question: how and where should I best serve? Where can I use my gifts? 1 Peter 4:7-11 7 The end of all things [...]
The Life of Faith
Want a closer walk with God? Want His love and mercy to transform your life, your family, your church? Get out of your comfort zone and serve Him! Romans 12:1-8 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which [...]
Christianity Doesn’t Work for Me
Romans 12:1-3 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is [...]
The Declaration of the Church
Believe the gospel for yourself. Christ’s victory is already here but not yet finalized. We live in a fallen world. Stand in the gap for what is lacking! Ephesians 3:7-13 7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power. [...]
His Glory in the Midst of a Fallen World
2 Samuel 11:6-27 6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash [...]
All of Israel Will be Saved
Salvation is by Faith. It always has been and always will be. There is no room for arrogance. In His sovereign plan, the witness of Jesus and salvation by faith will go back to the Jews. All are alike under sin. Romans 11:22-36 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those [...]
Salvation by Faith
Paul’s thought concerning salvation and the Jews: Salvation is by faith alone. Christ + Nothing = *Everything*. We warp that to be Christ + my goodness and faithfulness = Salvation. Romans 11:11-21 11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to [...]
We’re Addicted to Self
Jesus’ ministry is about freedom, it’s about joy, it’s about changing our lives. It’s about resetting them and reorienting them to be the person God made us to be. Luke 4:14-21 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And [...]
The Remnant
Romans 11:1-10 11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against [...]
